Final answer:

By driving 2 hours at a speed of 65 miles per hour, Vang covers a distance of 130 miles. As it's 185 miles to Fort Worth, he will be 55 miles away from Fort Worth after this time.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Vang drives 2 hours at 65 miles per hour, we can calculate the distance he has covered by multiplying his speed by the time he has been driving.

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 65 mph × 2 hours = 130 miles

To find out how far he will be from Fort Worth after driving for 2 hours at that speed, we subtract the distance he has covered from the total distance to Fort Worth.

Remaining distance to Fort Worth = Total distance - Distance covered

Remaining distance to Fort Worth = 185 miles - 130 miles = 55 miles

Therefore, after driving for 2 hours at 65 miles per hour, Vang will be 55 miles away from Fort Worth.

Distance to Fort Worth = 185 miles
Time for which Vang has driven = 2 hours
Distance per hour driven by Vang = 65 miles
Then
Distance covered by Vang in 2 hours = (65 * 2) miles
= 130 miles
Then
The distance that still remains to be
covered for reaching Fort Worth = (185 - 130) miles
= 55 miles
So after driving for 2 hours at a speed of 65 miles per hour, Vang will still be 55 miles away from Fort Worth.
